Rebirth Tokyo 1986

Chapter 293 Some are happy and some are sad

"Come on, Yokoyama, you can do it."

On March 3, at the Makuhari Messe International Convention Center in Chiba, Norifumi Yokoyama stood in a corner and cheered himself up.

This is his last chance, and he doesn't want to be forced to go to school and take the postgraduate entrance examination just because he has no job.

It is said that taking the postgraduate entrance examination can increase employment opportunities, but who knows whether the job market will become even worse in two years.

It is better to seize the present and make money to support your family as soon as possible.

Norifumi Yokoyama's idea is very clever. If we really wait until after 95, the employment environment will indeed be worse.

By then, Japan's semiconductor industry, especially the semiconductor memory industry, will face strong competition from South Korea and will stop recruiting on a large scale, and its strategy of building a country based on science will collapse.

With Xinghai Group in this life, the situation will be much better.

However, the flash memory and CPU technologies that Xinghai Group specializes in are far less profitable and less attractive for recruiting workers than the memory chip field, so it can only alleviate the employment difficulties faced by college students.

Soon it was Norifumi Yokoyama's turn for the interview.

Although he is not a believer on weekdays, he could not help but ask for blessings from Buddha, Bodhisattva and various Japanese gods.

If the interview is successful, he will visit every society he sees and worship at every temple he encounters.

In addition to graduates and parents, the media has also been following and reporting on this matter, which is a bit like Chinese reporters following college entrance examination news in the past life.

"Great answer, that's enough. We will call you within ten days to let you know the results of the interview."

"OK, thanks!"

Norifumi Yokoyama bowed respectfully, then left the interview scene with a nervous heart.

"Son, what's the result?"

As soon as the young man left the venue, Yokoyama's mother, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't wait to ask him questions.

"I don't know. The interviewer said to wait for notification."

"I see. My son is so capable, he will definitely be able to do it."

Yokoyama's mother seemed to be cheering her son up, but also seemed to be talking to herself.

The entire interview lasted two days. Starting from the third day, the entire Xinghai Group began to select the required talents.

"This guy is very good. I have a deep impression of him."

"This won't work. I don't know any technology. I can't even turn it on."

"This is a hidden gem who has already developed a small game independently."

……

After more than a week of repeated discussions, Xinghai Group quickly selected the graduates it needed.

The group's human resources workers began calling each resume one by one.

"Hello, hello, is this Yokoyama Norihito?"

"Yes, here it is, I'm Yokoyama Norifumi's mother?"

Yokoyama's mother is very excited now and hopes to hear good results.

"Hello, Ms. Yokoyama. I am from the Human Resources Department of Xinghai Group. Congratulations on your child's qualification for the internal appointment of Xinghai Electronics. The relevant certificate will be delivered soon."

"Xinghai Electronics, is this true?"

Because she is very concerned about her son's employment, Yokoyama's mother knows a lot about the Xinghai Group.

She knew that Xinghai Electronics was an important subsidiary of Xinghai Group and that joining the company would give her better salary and benefits.

"Yes, your child is going to Xinghai Electronics this time. Congratulations."

"This is great, great."

Yokoyama's mother cried with joy and kept repeating her joy.

"Yes, congratulations. Next, please inform Yokoyama Norifumi-san."

"No trouble, no trouble."

There were many people who needed to be notified, so Xinghai Group hung up the phone quickly.

Yokoyama's mother held the hung up phone and laughed foolishly for almost a minute, then rushed into her son's room like a madman.

"Dianshi, it's successful. The interview was successful. Xinghai Electronics just called to inform you that you have obtained the qualification."

"really?"

Norifumi Yokoyama suddenly stood up from the bed and looked at his mother in disbelief.

"Yes, they said the final qualification will be mailed to you in a few days."

In order to avoid discrimination, both groups of graduates will be issued internal qualification certificates in the same format. Masato Takeshita does not want the company to become a mess.

"This, this, this, is really great."

Norifumi Yokoyama hugged his mother to express his inner joy.

"Yes, great."

Yokoyama's mother patted her son's back with a smile on her face.

There are ecstatic families, and naturally there are also lost graduates.

Those candidates who fail to be selected are almost equivalent to losing their last ideal job opportunity.

They now have only two options: one is to prepare for a year for the postgraduate entrance examination, and the other is to work hard in a small or medium-sized enterprise.

In fact, the 1990s was not only an employment ice age for Japanese college students, but also the era when Japanese college students were most enthusiastic about taking postgraduate entrance exams.

In many public schools, more than 60% of students choose to take the postgraduate entrance examination.

Due to the enthusiasm for postgraduate entrance examinations, many bad phenomena have emerged in society. Some private universities, in order to make profits, have begun to recruit a large number of students before the college is even established.

This phenomenon has led to a worrying level of graduate students in private universities in Japan, with companies basically not recruiting them, which is quite similar to the style of later Chinese overseas master's students.

Just when all employees of Xinghai Group were busy recruiting new people, Masato Takeshita once again received overseas students from China.

Then the young man said some nonsense about living and studying well in Japan so that he could better serve his motherland in the future, and then he took Lin Qingqian away from the hotel.

"Another year has passed, do you miss me?"

The girl didn't respond. She rolled her eyes at her grinning lover and walked on the street by herself.

"hey-hey."

Masato Takeshita didn't care. He laughed twice and quickly followed the girl's pace, then started talking for fun.

"China is developing very fast, unlike Japan which has basically taken shape. Every time I go to China, I feel like I don't know it."

Lin Qingqian couldn't stand his exaggerated sighs and couldn't help but turn her head away to complain.

"You are exaggerating. China is not as good as you say. It is far behind Japan."

After the reform and opening up, China has indeed changed a lot, but not too much.

Because China has not yet started large-scale development of the property market, nor has it used real estate as the main driving force for economic development.

Of course, the main reason is that China's real estate industry has not yet entered the marketization stage. Most residential houses are still provided by companies for free or with a small amount of money.

As for modern office buildings, they are also in their infancy. Even the future cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are not very good in this regard.

For example, the famous Lujiazui Global Center was completed after the 21st century.

"It's only a matter of time. Late-developing countries have an advantage in this regard. Tokyo, Japan, is more beautiful than New York, and Shanghai, China, will also be more beautiful than Tokyo in the future."

"That's also in the future, at least a few decades away."

Masato Takeshita raised the corner of his mouth and waved his hand confidently.

"No way. 20 years is enough, just like Tokyo surpassing New York."

The girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Well, okay, I'll lend you my good wishes."

The two of them were walking on the street and chatting casually, and before they knew it, they arrived at the restaurant.

"what do you want to eat?"

"Well, let's go to that store."

Lin Qingqian pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand and pointed to an eel restaurant not far away.

"Okay, it just so happens that I haven't eaten for a long time."

After the two walked into the store hand in hand, Takeshita Masato said directly: "Two servings of eel rice, add an extra portion of eel to each."

"Okay, you two just wait a moment, it will be ready soon."

After the waiter left, the young man turned around and asked with a smile: "Would you like something to drink?"

"No, water is fine."

"Yeah, that's okay."

Because it is a fast food restaurant, two servings of eel rice were ready in less than 10 minutes. "Not bad, what do you think?"

"Yeah, it's delicious."

Lin Qingqian narrowed her eyes and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

After a simple dinner, the two continued to walk aimlessly on the street, silently expressing their longing for each other.

"There's ice cream over there, do you want some?"

"Ah."

The girl nodded slightly and unconsciously tightened her grip on the young man's hand.

After quickly buying the desserts, the young man took the girl into a small park.

"Are you tired? Shall we sit here and rest for a while?"

"Okay."

After saying that, the girl sat down lightly on the chair, then snuggled in her lover's arms, enjoying this rare beauty.

"Let's stay a few more days this time. There's nothing to do when we go back anyway."

"Well, it's up to you."

The girl took a sip of her ice cream and responded shyly.

Good times always pass quickly, and before we know it, it’s night.

Masato Takeshita felt a little cold, and although he was reluctant, he turned around and said.

"Let's go. It's getting late. It's easy to catch a cold if we sit here."

"Ah."

Lin Qingqian nodded obediently and followed the young man away.

"Let's have a baby."

When they went to bed at night, the young man held his lover's pretty face affectionately and said in an unquestionable tone.

The girl's forehead flushed red, she lowered her head and said nothing, yet it seemed as if she had said everything.

The red tent is warm all night, and there is no word in the west tower.

The next morning, the two people who had recovered were no longer as relaxed as yesterday and began to get busy with the affairs of the international students.

However, with the help of Xinghai Group and logistics personnel from major universities, everything was arranged in three days.

"Phew, it's easy."

"Yes, I hope everyone can have a bright future."

Lin Qingqian closed her eyes and prayed sincerely for everyone in her heart.

She hopes that everyone can gain something from their study abroad experience.

The young man waited quietly for more than ten minutes, until the girl opened her eyes again, and then he spoke.

"Let's go to my office first to discuss the company's university donation this year."

"Ok."

When it comes to business, the girl's expression immediately becomes serious, and her urban white-collar style comes to the fore.

Masato Takeshita really wanted to cause trouble, but after thinking about his lover's personality, he finally gave up the idea.

Love needs to be managed and requires mutual respect.

"Well, the company has developed a new operating system. So this year's donation to the university, I hope it can be a computer with our company's operating system and software."

Internet cafes are suitable places to spread one's own operating system, and so are schools, and the effect may be better.

"easy to use?"

“It’s better than what Microsoft is releasing now.”

“Okay, I’ll help promote it.”

Lin Qingqian trusts her lover very much. Since he says it works well, then it must be true.

"Well, thanks. I wonder if we can replace the school's old operating system with one produced by our company?"

The girl thought about it and finally shook her head uncertainly.

"I can't say for sure. It depends on the school's response."

"Just do it boldly. We will donate more money to any college that agrees to our request."

When doing things, we need to guide them with benefits, which is countless times more effective than dry persuasion.

"Yes, I know."

"That's good."

Afterwards, the two discussed a large number of methods and finally wrote a more reliable one into a copy.

After settling the university issues, Masato Takeshita told the girl about the planned Internet cafe alliance.

"You mean, I will be in charge of the entire Internet Cafe Alliance?"

"That's right. From now on, all business in China will be gradually transferred to you."

"Okay, I'll take care of it."

The girl looked at her lover affectionately, her tone full of solemnity.

She understood the young man's subtext and knew that all of this in the future would be handed over to the child of their love.

Masato Takeshita smiled and waved his hand, "There's no need to be too nervous. We're working with the Telecommunications Bureau, so it'll definitely be easy."

China's telecommunications industry was still in the monopoly stage and had to wait until 95 to be gradually split up.

But it doesn’t matter. Even if it is split in the future, the Internet cafe business will probably remain in the telecommunications company.

"Ah."

Lin Qingqian was not as confident as the young man because she was more aware of the strong style of the country's telecommunications department.

This cooperation will not be as good as imagined.

Of course, it will not be as difficult as private enterprises in our country.

After all, Xinghai Group is a well-known large foreign enterprise, and it has also registered itself above its own.

Then she immediately asked: "I wonder how many Internet cafes the company plans to open?"

"Well, we'll open two in each provincial capital city, and cities close to provincial capitals. We'll open five in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen."

China is indeed very poor now, but there are still a lot of people who can afford to spend money in Internet cafes.

Besides, in order to promote its own operating system, Youth will not set the price too high and try to expand the number of users.

“What about the scale?”

"Let's start with 50, and then add more depending on the situation."

It is still very early now, and young people do not know how big the scale of Internet cafes China can support.

50 units is a perfect size, neither too big nor too small.

"clear."

The girl was also aware of China's current consumption level and nodded in approval.

“By the way, the venue must be large enough to accommodate at least 200 computers to facilitate future expansion.”

In fact, young people really want to start with 100 computers per family. After all, computers and other things are their own products and it won’t cost too much money.

But this is a cooperative project, so we still need to try to make money, so we naturally cannot be too aggressive.

“In addition, the venue must be purchased directly to avoid rent issues.”

It is easy for landlords to become jealous of income when renting a house, which greatly delays business promotion.

"I understand, don't worry."

Lin Qingqian often attended high-level meetings of Xinghai Group’s Chinese subsidiaries and was aware of the company’s operations at McDonald’s fast food restaurants.

Directly buying a store and running it can save costs and avoid a lot of trouble.

The two chatted for an entire afternoon, and after basically clarifying all aspects, Masato Takeshita ended the meeting.

"Let's go, it's getting late, let's go have a big meal."

"Okay, I want to have a seafood dinner tonight."

"OK, no problem."
